- Preparation of test solutions
The batch of Hepteen Base® tested was a clear amber liquid with a purity of 99.7% and not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rate initially prepared. No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test item.
Preparation of test solutions started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L applying a three-day period of magnetic stirring, after which the resulting mixture was allowed to stabilize for approximately 2 hours. Subsequently, the Saturated Solution (SS) was siphoned off through glass wool and used as the highest test concentration. The lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the SS in test medium. All final test solutions were clear and colourless. - Test organisms (species):

- Combined limit/range-finding test
No biological significant number of daphnids became immobilize in the control and at the lowest test concentration throughout the test duration , while effects were complete in the two highest test concentrations already after 24 hours of exposure. The 48h-EC50 was expected to be between solutions containing 1.0% and 10% of a SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L.
Microscopic observations of daphnids exposed to solutions containing 1.0% and 10% of the SS prepared at loading rate of 100 mg/L at 24 hours of exposure revealed no test item attached to their bodies.
Samples taken from all concentrations were analysed. The actual concentrations were 0.034, 0.70 and 7.4 at the start of the test in 1.0, 10 and 100% of a SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L, respectively. Measured concentrations did not decrease by more than 20% of the initial concentrations throughout the test duration (86-99% of initially measured concentrations).
All test conditions were maintained within the limits prescribed by the study plan.
Final test-Measured concentrations
Analysis of the samples taken at the start (t=0) of the final test showed measured concentrations of 0.071, 0.14, 0.37, 0.67 and 1.4 mg/L in solutions containing 0.46, 1.0, 2.2, 4.6 and 10% of a SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L, respectively. During the exposure period the measured concentrations had decreased to 0.037, 0.081, 0.21, 0.39 and 0.90 mg/L, respectively.
Based on these results, the average exposure concentrations were calculated. The range tested based on average measured concentrations was 0.051, 0.11, 0.28, 0.51 and 1.1 mg/L.
Immobility
After 24 hours of exposure, no immobility was recorded in the control and at the two lowest test concentrations, while 50%, 90% and 95% daphnids were immobilized at average exposure concentrations of 0.28 mg/L, 0.51 mg/L and 1.1 mg/L, respectively. At the end of the exposure period, no immobility was recorded in the lowest test concentration, while 20% of daphnids were immobilized at an average exposure concentration of 0.11 mg/L and all daphnids were immobilized at the two highest test concentrations.
Microscopic observations of daphnids exposed to an average exposure concentration of 0.28 mg/L at 24 hours of exposure revealed no test item attached to their bodies.
The responses recorded in this test allowed for reliable determination of an EC50.
Experimental conditions
These test conditions remained within the limits prescribed by the study plan (pH: 6-9, not varying by more than 1.5 units; oxygen: =/>3 mg/L at the end of the test).
The temperature continuously measured in a temperature control vessel was maintained at 20°C during the test, and complied with the requirements as laid down in the study plan (18-22°C, constant within 2°C). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The actual responses in this reference test with K2Cr2O7 were within the ranges of the expected responses at the different concentrations, i.e. the 48h-EC50 was within the expected range of 0.30 to 1.0 mg/L. Hence. the sensitivity of the tested batch of Daphnia magna was comparable to the sensitivity of batches previously tested at Charles River Den Bosch.
The 24h-EC50 was 0.55 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.50 to 0.62 mg/L.
The 48h-EC50 was 0.39 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.33 to 0.44 mg/L. The historical ranges for the 48h-EC50 lie between 0.28 and 0.90 mg/L. The observed 48h-EC50 corresponds with this range. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- None specified
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 48h-EC50 was 0.15 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 0.18 and 0.19 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
Acute Toxicity Study in Daphnia magna with Hepteen Base® (static).
Acute toxicity study using Hepteen Base® as conduced in daphnia magna in accordance with OECD guideline No. 202, 2004. In addition, the procedures were designed to meet the test methods of the CouncilRegulation (EC) No 440/2008,Part C.2, 2008 and the OECD series on testing and assessment number 23, 2000.
The batch of Hepteen Base® tested was a clear amber liquid with a purity of 99.7% and not completely soluble in test medium at the loading rate initially prepared. No correction was made for the purity/composition of the test item.
Preparation of test solutions started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L applying a three-day period of magnetic stirring, after which the resulting mixture was allowed to stabilize for approximately 2 hours. Subsequently, the Saturated Solution (SS) was siphoned off through glass wool and used as the highest test concentration. The lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the SS in test medium. All final test solutions were clear and colourless.
A final test was performed based on the results of a preceding combined limit/range-finding test. Twenty daphnids per group (5 per replicate, quadruplicate) were exposed to an untreated control and to solutions containing 0.46, 1.0, 2.2, 4.6 and 10% of a SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L.The total exposure period was 48 hours and samples for analytical confirmation of exposure concentrations were taken at the start and at the end of the test.
Analysis of the samples taken at the start (t=0) of the final test showed measured concentrations of 0.071, 0.14, 0.37, 0.67 and 1.4 mg/L in solutions containing 0.46, 1.0, 2.2, 4.6 and 10% of a SS prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L, respectively. During the exposure period the measured concentration had decreased to 0.037, 0.081, 0.21, 0.39 and 0.90 mg/L, respectively. Based on these results, the average exposure concentrations were calculated.The range tested based on average measured concentrations was 0.051, 0.11, 0.28, 0.51 and 1.1 mg/L.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the study plan and was considered valid.
The 48h-EC50 was 0.15 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 0.18 and 0.19 mg/L).
